Dinner and reception for alumni in the UK
On the 11th of October 2006 the University of Melbourne invited alumni in the United Kingdom to a reception and gala dinner.
The dinner was held at Ironmongers' Hall, the splendid dining room featured in the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The dinner speaker was the recently-appointed Director of the Edinburgh Festival, Jonathan Mills (Vice Chancellor's Fellow at Melbourne), who spoke about his plans for Edinburgh.
The Vice Chancellor Prof. Glyn Davis, AC, attended, and the menu had a special southern hemisphere feel to it.
